Board Evaluation
We went through summary of board assessments; discussed some of the weaknesses identified by BOT from Board evaluations. One of the biggest weaknesses is the orientation and onboarding of new members. The planned orientation should address much of the initial informational need to new members. The onboarding needs more definition. Thomas is going to work on a checklist for onboarding expectations.
Another area is board evaluations. Should we review board meetings monthly or quarterly?
Low finance score was probably due to lack of knowledge but the general consensus is that finance does a good job of reporting.
Board succession has been discussed and shared with the board 2 years ago, but it needs to be done annually so all new board members know about it.
There was discussion about asking BOT to delete/edit some of the assessment questions.
